I guess I have a slightly different take on this subject. I don't consider mundane tasks to be boring, to me they're just tedious. For me, boring is things like sitting in a waiting room waiting for an appointment with nothing to do but wait. I don't have one of those personal electronic devices that people refer to as a "phone" these days, so I don't have that to occupy my mind while I'm waiting. Often enough, none of the magazines are interesting enough to read, so I just sit there. That to me is the meaning of boring.
